When I bought an air ticket at the supersaver fare last month, I got a price break because I had to reserve and pay 30 days in advance.

Chutzpah, it must be added, also applies to the people who planned Leverett's outrageous ticket prices and show schedule. Inflation may be rampant, but charging $3 for a House show is absurd and almost menacing--sort of like Chase Manhattan raising the prime lending rate to 15 per cent overnight.

Lynn, which once boasted the largest shoe manufacturing industry of the nation, hadn't been visited by a president since Calvin Coolidge came to campaign for a ticket.

Three little boys leaned over the ropes around City Hall as the press bus unloaded...

Tickets are $1.50 with student ID, and are available at Holyoke Ticket Office or at the door.
